Innovation Pillar School Designed Practicum
There is one slot available for a second or third year law student in this Practicum supervised by Professor Erika Douglas.
The experiential learning project offered with this Practicum is with Thomas Jefferson University’s Innovation Pillar. The Innovation Pillar is responsible for technology transfer activities (the process of intellectual property management and commercialization in a university setting) at Jefferson, including management of the University’s intellectual property estate, out-licensing technology to commercial partners, and supporting the launch of associated start-up companies. Patentability assessment is a critical element of this function as the Innovation Pillar determines appropriate strategies for patent filings and corresponding business activity.
In this Practicum, students will have the opportunity to gain exposure to technology transfer. Students will be tasked with performing evaluations with respect to a wide range of emerging technologies and commercialization opportunities arising from Jefferson innovations, spanning the areas of biotechnology, medical devices, advanced materials, and healthcare information technology. Specific responsibilities will include: completing training for prior art search procedures, conducting prior art (patent and literature) searches, documenting results and preparing detailed reports, communicating findings with office staff and Jefferson inventors, and attending regular team meetings and networking events.
This Practicum is ideal for second or third year law students who are committed to, or interested in learning more about, intellectual property and patents. Strong preference will be given to students with a life science background, though students with other science backgrounds are encouraged to apply. Students must commit to 10 hours per week. If you are interested in this opportunity, please forward your resume and cover letter/statement of interest addressed to “Intellectual Property Practicum Selection Committee: Jefferson Innovation Pillar” to Mai Le (mai.le@temple.edu) by 12:00 pm on December 15, 2020.
